Are Thule backpacks still good? (lemm.ee)

I bought a Thule Crossover eight years ago and the zip on it has finally gone. Short of getting a local seamstress to fit a new zip, I think it's time for a new one, and am a bit tempted by the Thule Crossover 2 30l. Are Thule still good? Is there anything else of the same sort of size that I should be considering?

The Synik 30 by Tom Bihn might be a good option for you. I've had a similar model for about 10 years and it's still in great shape.

It allows me to comfortably carry my stuff around on my back and looks pretty cool, which is all I really ask from a backpack.
